sharp car....easy to spot an 86 with that 3rd brake light sticking up on the back glass

my 91 Z/28 had 62K on the clock when i bought it many years ago...welcome to the third gen club, and watch it with that mullet talk ;-)

My 87 IROC rides and drives very nicely!! No noises,creaks,etc... Smooth.. John, you'll love the Pilot Sports... i am running those on mine.. I have installed new bushings,end links.. Rides like new.. Here is a pic of my 89... "the one that got away"..

Great find!! I love thirdgens. I miss mine. I started out looking for an IROC, then discovered the GTA's....so I ended up with a GTA. LOVED that car, I really miss it.

I'd love to have another 3rd gen someday.

That one is super clean, it's nice to know that they're still out there like that!!! Def keep it mostly stock, and that tip about the tires is a good one. Those Gatorbacks are getting hard to find now.

My dad has a unmolested 85 Iroc that's been garage kept and only has about 25,000 miles on it.

Wow great find. Again I would probably leave it as is. That's a nice cruiser.

Nice find. It is next to impossible to find those cars in such good original condition these days.
